About this search plugin
The Free Software Directory is a catalog of useful free software that runs under free operating systems. FSF staff and volunteers work together to collect detailed information about free software programs and organize it in a clear and accessible format.

This is a search plugin for the Free Software Directory. It works over an HTTPS, meaning that all your communication with the Free Software Directory web site is encrypted.

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

1) The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).
2) The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
3) The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
4) The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

See The Free Software Definition.

In addition, software freedom is closely related to your privacy. For more details, see the Protect your freedom and privacy guide from the Free Software Foundation, read more about the Free Software Foundation, get involved, or support the FSF as a member.
